Apology and Question:What to kill first? Blogger Beta or IE !?!

I sincerely apologize to everyone using Internet Explorer who has visited TPCM since Sunday, October 22^th.

It turns out of a couple my posts this week had ending "span" statements that were NOT terminated properly. Blogger Beta gave no warning and readily accepted my publishing the posts.

In Firefox 1.5 (my default browser), these unclosed statements didn't cause any problems; however, in Internet Explorer 6.0, they caused style changes in preceding posts and in my sidebar!! The style changes basically rendered everything unreadable.

I discovered this problem in IE a few minutes ago, and I think I've fixed everything.

If you have encountered this problem, I am very sorry and I implore you, please don't give up on TPCM!!

I will do my best to try and avoid such problems in the future (or at least try to make sure I don't let 5 days pass before I realize them)!

Thanks.

QL (who is so incredibly vexed right now!!!)

The Secret Origin of...

Any Legion fan worthy of the title knows the Planetary Chance Machine was one of the zaniest devices from the Legion's Silver Age. Its function: to serve as a selection device, by smacking the Legionnaires with miniature versions of the planets.

The Planetary Chance Machine in action!
(And Superboy helpfully reminding Brainiac 5 what his name is.)

Apparently, the Capricious Decapitating Device had resulted in too many deaths during its initial testing, so the Legion had to settle on a less fatal but still pretty frelling sadistic way to pick mission members.

In honor of this insane contraption, you have before you The Planetary Chance Machine (TPCM). I'll be sharing whatever random sh*t gives me a laugh and in the process maybe give you a chuckle too. My humor can be of the "locker room" variety (see "The Flash: Keeping it on the down-low"), so if you don't care for that sort of thing, TPCM is probably not for you.

In addition to the humor, I plan on some comic reviews, pithy comments on modern culture and amateur nude photos of myself. (NOT really on that last one, but by typing that, I figure some poor schmuck googling for porn will eventually get this site as a hit!)

I can't promise daily updates, but I'll try to post more than once a year. Also, I'm using Blogger beta, so there may be unanticapted site issues; I'm a total HTML & CSS newbie.

For the record, there is a blog called "Planetary Chance Machine"; however, I found it only after I designed my logo (a totally kick-ass logo), so I HAD to stick with the name. Plus, this is THE Planetary Chance Machine.

But enough about this blog (if this were a origin story in 52, it would have taken 10 issues!),
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN.
